Wow im so jealous of the sunsets and the clear waters! Aww man looks so pretty
What a nice trip :)
How pretty looks like fun!!
You can eat hibiscus flowers, have you ever had the mexican agua fresca “agua de jamaica” its red (and stains like no body’s buissiness) and is realy sweet and tastes a little like Kool-aide.. its really good if you make it at home and use less sugar, most latin markets have them you just brew the flowers like tea :)
Beautiful! The nice warm weather looks wonderful. Great pictures, looks like you had a great trip. Do you know where you will go next time?
hmmm Mexico maybe?
Hi Maangchi, looks like you had great fun there! I love the pictures and your cute narration :) Btw, the huge red flower is a hibiscus, it’s Malaysia’s national flower (that’s how I know) hehe..oooh the iguanas look scary to me..aaah
hibiscus,Malaysia’s national flower. Wow, I learn a new thing from you this morning.
Me encanta los fotos del mar. Que linda. (I love the photos of the ocean. How beautiful.) It makes me homesick for southern California. The beaches there aren’t nearly as pretty, but the sight of palm trees and clear skies reminds me of being home. The big flower is called a hibiscus and there were a ton of those all through the neighborhood I lived in. All the birds loved them and I used to pick one sometimes and put it behind my ear. The fluid that comes from the torn stem itches, though. I think they’re also edible for humans, though I could be thinking of another flower that my mom used to pick and eat the petals of.
hibiscus, yes, thanks! You put it behind your ear? Awesome fashion taste.
You are such an adventurer!!!
Did you get to taste the Wahoo? In Hawaii we call it Ono. My husband used to do deep sea fishing and he would bring home Ono and mahimahi. I was sick of eating it. Now that he doesn’t fish, I wish I had some.
That must have been a wonderful adventure…. swimming with the dolphin
Wahoo, no chance to taste it. It’s ono? It’s from the line “ono ono boong boong?” lol,
Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
Thanks a lot!

“Ivfeel as if you took me along with you” Maybe someday we can all travel together.
